Zidane is a better coach than...

pelvicky:
making sub is now being smart

No, going 39 games unbeaten despite key players getting injured is smart.

Zidane is smart.James on for Kroos.

Kroos is a yellow away from being suspended.He should be subbed off now.

Legend presenting his 4th earlier.

4-0 already.

Real madrid to equal Barca's 39 game unbeaten run today.Good times.

patrickmuf:
Sevilla are garbage away from home, it's been so since the past season...

Be that as it may, beating a team like Sevilla with 5/6 key players missing is commendable.

ElDeeVee:
The way Iniesta keeps appearing in all these teams is still surprising. Save for very few great performances in the league last season, he was anonymous in the UCL and Euros. E be like say the guy dey use jazz

Honestly, it beats my imagination.

Kudos to Bilbao for handing Barca their first L of 2017.

How does it feels to meet fellow introvert in person .... Guess no one would want to initiate the convo

The irony is that I am usually more attracted to introverts of the opposite sex and I am an introvert.I guess the expression 'opposite attracts' doesn't apply to me.

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS



RONALDO HAT TRICK LOADING ON 4Th

Ronaldo was not included in the squad list and won't be playing.

Surprising, coming from a fellow Argentine.

Girls that look cute on low cut.I am like, 'if she looks so fine on low cut, then she would be a goddess with hair'.Also eyes, voice, and the way she walks.

Yahoo1:
Neymar has more assist than Kroos,hence he is a better CM than Kroos. this guy sef...

But we all know that Neymar is a forward and not a CM.Let's say we put aside the goals and assists, Kroos still trumps Iniesta in almost every other category.Is it passes completed? Chances created? Pass accuracy? How then is Iniesta currently a better CM than Kroos?

[quote author=homesteady post=52462317][/quote]I remember a certain Barca fan predicted about a year ago that he would be the recipient of the current Ballon d'or.

homesteady:
You want to pretend like you don't know I'm talking of Modric? it was all over the Internet, Modric disappeared immediately Iniesta entered! He was like the best player on the pitch pre-iniesta, so his disappearance was very noticeable and glaring!

I'm asking you again, this is Kroos 3 season in Spain, has he ever dominated Iniesta in any El Classico?

It will be preposterous and irrational to judge both players on just a single game, and that's where Iniesta has the upper hand; he delivers a mouthwatering performance today, goes missing for a few games, gets injured, only to return back and the cycle continues.Meanwhile the likes of Kroos and Modric keep dishing out those mind-boggling displays every week.My comparisons are based on consistency, and that's something Mr. unproductive is lacking right now.Agreed, he was unarguable the best midfielder in 2009-13, but he just can't keep up any longer and should follow the footsteps of Xavi.

TRendlona:
Perez would trade Modric for Iniesta if he has the chance.

Barcelona would cross-sell Iniesta and Rakitic just to get Modric.

homesteady:
Please can you remind who disappeared like the fart of a leprous witch when Iniesta entered during El Classico?
Since when Kroos started playing El Classico, he has never outshined Iniesta! Never!
Do you mean he had 16 assist in LA liga?

Disappeared? Last I checked, Kroos was absent in the last clasico and Modric was one of the best players on the pitch that day, not forgetting he delivered the assist for Ramos' bullet header.I meant 16 assist in all comp. which for a CM is a superb feat along with his neat passes from midfield coupled with the occasional passing-esque goals he scores from time to time.Iniesta's time is over, he has been usurped as the best midfielder in Spain by the Madrid duo for about 2 seasons now; he should join Xavi in qatar and earn his pension.Last I heared, he is waiting from offers from China which hitherto has not been made.He should just retire and let the young ones do their thing since he is past it.

ArrowAssassin1:
What are you saying sef?

Best cms this year
Iniesta
Modric
Kroos
Cesc Fabregas
Vidal

That's the pecking order

How can you rank the unproductive one ahead of the likes of Modric who produces orgasmic performances 99% of the time or Kroos who has notched 9 assists so far this season and had about 16 last year.Wake up bro, this is 2017 not 2012.

bykebyke:
Fixed.

Who are the top 2? Only Modric is better, even then it's still debateable.

Happy new year cules, woowww it's been a while

God bless us and our lovely football clubbbbb this year, trophies go nyafu nyafu this year

I wish madrid nothing but misery and woe this year

Visca Barca

What other misery could be worse than Atletico losing the UCL final against their fierce rivals and ending 2016 trophyless? Well, it's none of my business sha.

bykebyke:
If this does not trigger Neymar into dropping a dope2017.

I don't know what will.

Epic tweet from the best CM in the world.

OBTSubtle:



Happy new year cules!!

Who else smells that treble?

Treble? I smell sextuple.

Happy new year to all madridista around the world.2016 was good, 2017 will be even better.

Bale might not the best dribbler of the three, but he is the better player; I will take that.Hazard is the best dribbler of the three with Neymar a close 2nd.

5th incoming...

2017 is going to be better than 2016.I can feel it in my marrow.A League and Cup/UCL double is coming our way.

raumdeuter:
Rakitic, Iniesta, Busquets, Xavi, Yaya, Seydou Keita, Arda Turan Mascherano etc have all played the midfield for Barca

Meanwhile Diarra, Kaka, Guti, Alonso, V.der vaart, Khedira, Ozil, Illara, Sahin, Di maria, Modric, Isco, James, Casemiro, Kroos, Kovacic, and even Pepe have been incorporated in the madrid midfield.With James' departure imminent, Perez would probably bring in 2 new midfielders and the cycle goes on and on...

Nihilist:
Same number of league goals since 2009. One guy had Xavi and Iniesta. The other was managing Van Der Vaart and Royston Drenthe.

Not to forget the fact that the Madrid midfield has never been stable; lots of players have been incorporated in the Madrid midfield by all the coaches that have handled the team since 09, yet C.baba remains consistent in performance.Truly the greatest of my time and possible the greatest ever.

bykebyke:
Two out of those three Ballon D'ors were undeserved.

But that's a talk for another day.

After all it was because of him Voting was extend for a Ballon D'or voting.

Messi won his Ballon D'ors with no voting extension.

2010 comes to my mind whenever i hear about undeserved ballon d'or.I wonder why.

LordEmperoris1:
the same hazard still led his team to euros quarters.

HAZARD IS A WORLD CLASS PLAYERS,he is only lacking behind because he play for an average chelsea team, put him in a madrid team and he Will send the likes of isco ,james packing.

So getting eliminated in the quarter-finals of a tournament in which Belgium were considered one of the favourites, and also walloped by a clearly inferior Welsh team is now a remarkable achievement? What makes a team average in the first place? Shouldn't it be the quality of players in that team.If Chelsea is an average team, what does that make their star? If Hazard is elite as we are being made to believe, why hasn't he been swooped up by the big teams? I hope you will not come up with something asinine a doofus said about Chelsea not being a selling club.Finally, are the likes of Isco and James starters in Madrid? If not, wouldn't that mean Hazard will be replacing them on the bench after sending them packing?
